Ken Barton

Ken Barton Date of Birth: Sep 20, 1937

Following a glittering schoolboy career in his native Wales, Ken joined Tottenham after a successful trial in 1954 but had to wait seven years before making his League debut which came at Old Trafford during Spurs’ double winning season.

After only three more appearances, the strong full-back decided to try his luck at Millwall in September1964 before joining Luton three months later.

The Hatters were in the final leg of their drop from Division One to the football basement in five years and Ken’s 11 starts could not stop the rot. He joined Dunstable in the summer of 1965 before working as a representative for a pharmaceutical company. Ken was only 44 when he died in 1982.
